Many biological phenomena involve the binding of proteins to a large object.

346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesPhase-Field Free Energy and Boundary Force for Molecular Solvation Abstract: We discuss a phase-filed variational model for the solvation of charged molecules with implicit solvent. The solvation free-energy functional of all phase fields consists of the surface energy, solute excluded volume and solute-solvent van der Waals dispersion energy, and electrostatic free energy. The last part

346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTopic: Polynomial Preserving Recovery for Gradient and Hessian Abstract: Post-processing techniques are important in scientific and engineering computation. One of such technique, Superconvergent Patch Recovery (SPR) proposed by Zienkiewicz-Zhu in 1992, has been widely used in finite element commercial software packages such as Abaqus, ANSYS, Diffpack, etc.; another one, Polynomial Preserving Recovery (PPR) has been

346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Homotopy Methods for Solving Nonlinear Systems and Beyond Abstract: This talk will cover some recent progress on homotopy methods to solve nonlinear systems. I will start with homotopy methods for solving nonlinear PDEs with multiple solutions and bifurcations by coupling with domain decomposition and reduced basis methods. Examples from hyperbolic systems and free boundary
